  • This video is a personal project (fan film) created by myself and my FX-guru brother Isaac Botkin. He planned and crafted all the visuals in Lightwave 3D, and I composed the original score in Cubase Pro. The goal was to come up with an original melody, but keep it very much within the style and flavor of John William's iconic Star Wars scores. (follow this link to see how I created the music: • Death Star Constructio... )
    This piece was created 100% with Virtual Instruments on a computer. If you are interested in learning how to create music like this, check out this online video course where I teach you how to set up a composing workstation (MIDI and DAW), control Virtual Instruments like a pro, and create realistic and compelling music on your computer. store.fortecomposeracademy.co...
    If you are already set up as a Virtual Instrument composer, you should also be sure to check out this FREE PDF of 21 Tips for Bringing MIDI to Life: store.fortecomposeracademy.co...
    I used the following virtual instrument libraries:
    Berlin Brass (Orchestral Tools)
    Berlin Woodwinds (Orchestral Tools)
    Berlin Woodwinds Expansion B - Soloists (Orchestral Tools)
    Berlin Strings (Orchestral Tools)
    Berlin Percussion (Orchestral Tools)

    Soaring Strings (Musical Sampling)
    Adventure Strings (Musical Sampling)
    CinePerc Core (CineSamples)
    Skaila Kanga - Harp Redux (Spitfire Audio)
    (a couple misc perc FX from various libraries)

      To be fair, Galen Erso always intended for it to be blown up. Also if Luke hadn't been there and used the Force it would never have happened, since during the first attack run the torpedoes merely impacted the surface. It was pretty much dumb luck and a tiny bit of space magic that killed the Death Star.

    It was mentioned in Rogue One:A Star Wars Story that the Death Star was capable of making the jump to hyperspace and one thing I always wondered and that was just how freaking huge the Death Star's hyperdrive systems must be to move something the size of a class 4 moon through hyperspace must be pretty impressive and an imazing feat of engineering for the engineers who were in charge of that part during the Battle Stations construction.

    Although this construction sequence makes way more sense, it seems that in the movies they built it 'end to end' instead of 'skeletal to complete' if that makes any sense. in RotJ the 2nd death star is being built, but there was no initial frame, as if they built it from one end to the other. which, to an engineer, would be hilariously stupid. props for being smarter than the empire XD

      DekuGames if it were tidally locked it’d be on the same path as the moon.
      It could be easily solved by having a couple ships temporarily attached and boosting it back into orbit if atmospheric drag were to start affecting it(the ISS has a small thruster for exactly this problem), it probably would start being dragged as it’s so large. But other than that there’s nothing really going to mess with other than probably the gravity of the moon messing with its orbit.
      It would however cause weird tides on earth if it was built as close as shown in the video.

    This is pure genius. Given the relative scale and the suggested level of detail, you did amazingly. I know the technical specifications for the DS-1 Battlestation inside and out, as the fictional plans were published - the same you used I suspect, and your methodology, and proposed construction routine is pretty much how a large vehicle or vessel such as a modern-day ocean liner is constructed with the primary elements brought into place and then everything built around them. Simply astounding work here. My only wish is that this two-minute video had lasted ten!
